How do the rabbit ears help them survive?

Ears help rabbits to hear, of course! (But if it is arctic hare, even though it may hear better, it does not keep warmth inside.) Rabbits also use their ears to communicate with. They can move them backwards and forwards, lock them to the side, and they can rotate them so that the openings face one way or another -- the different positions mean different things to other rabbits.

What do rabbits need long ears for?

No, a common misconception. Look up a picture of an "enlgish lop" sometime. Very very long ears (22 inch span). This breed in particular originated in Africa. The ears on any rabbit are to release heat. They are like a built in AC. With so much surface area, the heat given off allows long eared breeds to survive in hotter climates better. Dwarf rabbits, who's ears are the smallest, are that way to conserve heat. With less surface area the ears don't give off as much heat and allow the rabbit to survive better in colder climates.
